Affinity

ALICE A. BAILEY: Esoteric Astrology, page
266: “The energies of the various signs are attracted by the different planets according to their stage of development and by what is esoterically called “ancient relationship” between the in-forming entities of the planets and of the constellations. This relation exists between beings and is founded on a Law of Affinity. It is this law of affinity which produces the magnetic pull and the dynamic response between constellations and planets within the solar system and between some particular planet and the forms of life upon another planet and the “impending energies,” as they are called, which are being received from some major source. The capacity to receive and profit by the planetary energies (themselves received as emanated from some constella-tion) is dependent upon the point in evolution which determines the receptivity and the respon-siveness of the mechanism of reception. This constitutes an unalterable law and accounts for the power of certain planets which may have hitherto remained undiscovered and which have therefore had little to do with evolution up to the present, owing to the unresponsiveness of the forms of reception.”
